Promising Jobs Report Signals Healthy US Economy
The good news keeps coming in for the US economy thanks to a new Jobs Report that indicated 227,000 new jobs were added in November, pushing away October’s dire numbers.
Already we are seeing massive economic boons that could be related to Donald Trump’s election win for the US presidency, but it remains to be seen if he can make good on his promises and on his potential. It was long anticipated that his win would be good for the US economy, but if that holds true in the long term, it will come down to many of the policies that he decides on early on in his new position.
Meanwhile, the markets are benefiting from a very positive jobs report that showed that US jobs are growing, with 227,000 added in November compared to the distressing 36,000 added in October. This means very good things for the US economy, at least in the short term. We can expect that the report will have a positive effect on inflation, helping that rate to drop slightly and perhaps opening the door for stronger Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Those who support such cuts will surely point to this latest jobs report as evidence that cuts can safely be made without hurting the inflation rate.
Immediate Results from the Jobs Report
In the same hour that the US Jobs Report released, we saw a complete market turnaround. All three major indices- Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500- went from losing to gaining. The numbers are so good from this report that we expect the positive impact to continue to affect the stock market going into early next week.
In the last hour, the cryptocurrency market all went green, with gains almost completely across the board. Bitcoin (BTC) jumped 0.62% and Ethereum (ETH) gained 2.41%.
Long Term Effects from the Jobs Report
We anticipate that there will be some long-tail benefits from the stellar jobs report. If it does affect when the new interest rate cuts come and how big they are, that could cause the market to jump again. The jump could be more significant now thanks to the report.
Some of those jobs came from the transportation industry, which rebounded from the Boeing strikes that ended last month. This means we may not see these kinds of numbers again in December, but the numbers should be up from October, at any rate.
This report should also help give the crypto market some more momentum, propelling it higher. That is especially true of Bitcoin, which has jumped multiple times in recent weeks and could reach an upper limit of $250,000 in 2025, according to some experts.
